"It’s all about executing on our vision to be the best, most innovative and effective, client focused company in our market,” continued Osborn. “While we had a lot of inbound interest from potential partners, we chose the Wavecrest-led investor group because they value that client focus; share our vision for a full enterprise solution, and support our continuing drive for greater innovation. Our investor group knows that these attributes are critical to being best-in-class. That alignment was the key factor in our decision."
